1. Their camels strode with them striding
And they bore separation and yearned

2. And traces of them were erased by a loving glance
Whose steps mapped out their longing

3. Among them a spurning beauty glanced back
With disdain and one missed by his beloved has strayed

4. The teeth of the eyelids have been exposed
From which misfortune in our hearts pours forth

5. The conversation of events hastened him
In the prime of his reckless youth

6. Love ignited the flint of his passions
So that his sighs seem like sparks

7. And he turned towards a land of tricksters
More tender than that line

8. Where there is the comfort of the chosen Mustafa
Bedewed by its threshing floors of drought

9. And the family of Saif have a guest of honor
Begging wherever pact is bound

10. Those who seek equal shares of gifts
Whose purpose is moderation and equity

11. By God, the sword of the kingdom belongs to a king
Praised in prose and verse

12. He is open-handed, neither miserly in haven
Nor frowning of brow

13. His manners are folded in perfection
The like of which I've never heard

14. And nobility has passed to him in perfection
Below which stars pale

15. If he has attained it in his honor, then surely
What is beneath it cannot be reached
